ArcelorMittal Beams CalculatorCalculation of steel, partially encased and integrated beams (SFB, IFB type A and B) in cold and fire conditions. The software complies with EN 1993-1 the current state-of-the-art regarding the calculation of integrated beams.

Beam and integrated floor beamsCalculation of steel, partially encased and integrated beams (SFB, IFB type A and B) in cold and fire conditions. The software complies with EN 1993-1 the current state-of-the-art regarding the calculation of integrated beams.

Software designs composite floor slabs at elevated temperatures by taking into account the enhancing effects of the membrane action in slab. It also verifies the edge beams and determines the maximum temperature of each beam.

The purpose of AMECO software is to assess the life cycle of composite structures of buildings or bridges, evaluating the environmental footprint, in particular the associated energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions.

It is based on the principles of Life Cycle Assessment, compliant with ISO 14040 & 44, and new EN 15804 with evaluation of impacts: Global Warming Potential (GWP), Primary Energy Consumption (PEC), Acidification & Eutrophication potential, Water consumption,...

Ameco 3 is an extension of Ameco (version 2), which proposes to take into account the use phase of the building. It allows the estimation of energy needs for a variety of the building systems (heating, cooling…). Their calculation is based on several international norms such as ISO-13370, ISO-13789 and ISO-13790 as well as on European norm (EN 15316). The extension of the use phase is only available for buildings.

EC3 Steel Member Calculator v2 for iPhone EC3 Calculator provides a database of hot-rolled I-section profiles and calculates the resistance of hot-rolled steel columns, beams and beam-columns (subject to major axis bending) according to EC3-1-1

The aim of the Steel LCA application is to perform simplified Life Cycle Analysis (LCA) of hot-rolled I-section and tubular-section profiles. In addition, it provides a database of hot-rolled I-section profiles and cold-formed and hot-finished tubular profiles

LCA is perfomed according to ISO standards 14040:2006 and 14044:2006. Moreover, the analysis is performed taking into account the modular concept of European standard EN15804:2012. According to this set of standards, the evaluation comprehends four main steps.The application provides two additional optional steps: normalization and weighting. These two steps are considered to be optional in ISO standards, although they have a relevant role in a decision making process. Thus, the complete flowchart for the environmental life cycle analysis is represented in the scheme below.

The application enables three different scopes for the LCA: Option (i): a cradle-to-gate analysis (Module A according to EN15804:2012); Option (ii): a cradle-to-gate analysis plus end-of-life recycling (Modules A and D according to EN15804:2012); and Option (iii): a cradle-to-grave analysis plus end-of-life recycling (Modules A to D according to EN15804:2012).

5 main steps are needed to obtain LCA results in the application: 1.Choose the cross-section; 2.Input the values of the required parameters according to the analyzed case (length of member, steel grade); 3.Input the lifespan of the analysis (the period of time considered for the analysis, in years); 4.Select the scope of the analysis. Different options are available according to the scope of the analysis:

In option (i): the user can select a coating system for the profile from a list of available products; In option (ii): in addition the user can select a recycling rate and a reuse rate for steel and the corresponding transportation system; And in option (iii): in addition, the user may select a transportation system for steel (from the gate of the factory to the construction site) and a maintenance strategy for the profile taking into account the lifespan of the analysis. The results of the LCA are obtained in the results section. A detailed calculation report is automatically generated that can be sent by e-mail.

Finally, in the configuration options, the user may select the default type of analysis as well as the desired outputs.Apps LCA Calculator
